The local TV transmitter mast which I can see from my front door, is broadcasting at 1000KW. Rather more than the nearest mobile mast.

There is perfectly adequate areas in most places where a mast could be errected, yet still have metres upon metres (ie: 50 metres) boundary. The only problemw ould then be to stop people getting near it. It should be a council-backed plan. Having recently being one of the many scientists to help contribute to research regarding children using mobile phones, children + mobiles = uh oh! I fail to understand how people can accept typical human nature. We accept things as they come, then look back and realise the mistakes we made. With lots of health-risk factors in the world it would do us all good to take heed of the advice many experts give, especially when it comes to mobile phone radiation. In time, I'm one hundred percent certain there will be many a shock for your common mobile-phone user, especially when 3G is considered 'standard' and 2G is obselete. It's just quite upsetting for the sake of convienance; yet realistically your average Joe isn't really all that aware of the state of their own health. Look in your average british high street to see what modern life has done to us.
